Build quality is lacking in some areas. r
r
Packaging is terrible. It comes in a taped up Styrofoam container instead of a wooden or cardboard box. Its from China, but that's expected.r
r
The katana itself is decent and sharp.r
The outer finish on the saya is nice and looks exactly like the pictures.r
r
However, it was extremely hard to remove the katana from the saya, due to the habaki area getting stuck. I ended up having to lightly sand down the koiguchi area once I eventually got the katana out of the saya.r
r
Moreover, the blade rattles in the saya, which I'm not sure how I'm going to fix yet.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon With Black Scabbard |
Nice solid blade. Arrived quite sharp and with a bit of oil applied which is nice. Only flaw is the blade fits quite tightly into the shirasaya (scabbard) right at the tsuba but nothing a bit of light sanding won't fix (which i plan to do). Nice beginner iadio training blade, it also looks beautiful in person.

I just bought This katana and it’s beautiful. It came with dragonfly designs. This is one great piece of artwork.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword 1000 Layer Folded Steel With Red Scabbard |
A great katana with good weight for practice.
I've been looking for a dull, yet rightly weighted katana to practice Iaido with at home and this one hit the spot. The white coat does wear off somewhat quickly when sheathing, but as this is a training tool, wear and tear is expected.
Overall I'm quite satisfied with the design and quality of the katana.

overall experience:
website is easy to use, has an extremely wide selection, and explanations for different product types. i was a bit skeptical of the advertisements and customer reviews, but TrueKatana is legit. every sword they advertise is exactly how it appears when delivered; these swords are great for cosplay and iaido/iaijustu.
for sharp, “battle-ready” swords, they are reviewed to not be the sharpest or most effective for regular sharp use. however you’re better off spending more for a better piece that will last longer because TrueKatana is more for display anyways
my personal order: i ordered an aluminum non-sharp katana for practice and display; it’s a solid piece that is assembled with nice quality. would order again if ever interested in a second one. i was able to track my order as well all throughout the process
TL;DR: very honest advertisement for nice blades at reasonable prices. you get what you order. but don’t expect an amazing cutting/sharp sword; spend more money on a better sword for those purposes

I really didn't have much knowledge when ordering the Golden Blade Katana from True Katana for my boyfriend, but once he opened it, I knew I made the right choice. He loved the hand crafted sword and was very impressed. This is an amazing sword for the price and I will definitely buy from here again!!

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword High Manganese Steel With Blue Blade And Black Scabbard |
Got what I paid for.
279 plus a coupon was pretty good value for what I got. Their was a few problems to be expected from a cheaper Katana but the pros outweigh the cons in this scenario. And what I received was a beautiful Katana without a doubt.

I'm no katana expert, however the katana sword by "True Katana" has a quality feel and look to it. The handle wrapping is tight and the fittings are nice. The blade is SHARP and LIVE. "IT WILL CUT". Delivery was pretty fast.

Handmade Japanese Shirasaya Tanto Sword Pattern Steel With Black Scabbard |
Overall good replica Katana. These are nice for the cost. They are not battle ready and not very sharp. However, if you wanted a show piece these will do nicely. Keep in mind an authentic Japanese Katana will cost thousands. Some new katanas are 30k . One more thing, these are made in China not Japan. If you want a replica you will be pleased.

Bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift and he totally freaked out! I don’t know a thing about Samurai swords, but this felt and looked very well made and legit. It even shipped faster from Japan than things I was waiting for one state away. He’s sending videos of it to his friends and family and making everyone jealous as we speak! I will definitely return here for more cool swords to add to his new collection. Thank you!

This is the second sword I have bought from True Katana. I love the quality and the variety of swords offered here. This sword has a laser etched pattern on the blade. It has black ink in the etched pattern, however, on one side the ink only partially covers the pattern and fades to nothing. Really though, I still love this sword and I would buy it again.
